black people are not a monolith there are black people who are just as offended by the word coming from another black person as they are if it came from a white person but that is an internal struggle amongst black people i call my sister a bitch sometimes and we used to physically fight when we were younger but i was on her side and ready to defend her if anyone else called her a bitch or hit her if youre not black just add nigger and nigga to the list of words youre not allowed to say and move on the hows and whys of black people using the word arent for nonblack people to figure out that is up to black people to solve for themselves
